How much does a ton of code equal?

[uncut mesa]

not too much

aaaah the beautiful feeling of Unreal crashing because I tried to adjust too hard too fast

[errant raven]

1000 lines = a ton?

[uncut mesa]

way less than that

a ton as in, enough that it feels clean heh

[outer sierra]

Finished watching. Battle with russian stupid boy and Francis I army was sick.

[versed vector]

huh yeah, 'oops how'd that get in there?'

[regal pecan]

Ubisoft says it was trying to put an ad for Assassin’s Creed Mirage in the main menu of other Assassin’s Creed games. However, a “technical error” caused the promotion to show up on in-game menus instead.

[versed vector]

that does seem believeable tbf

hard to tell sometimes if they are testing the waters or actually screwing up

[errant raven]

Testing waters

[unreal ether]

its Ubisoft, guilty until proven innocent

[errant raven]

I mean, judging that a few of their devs openly tried shaming elden ring for its success kinda proves they dont mind scooping low

Wouldnt put it past them

[broken sigil]

I was bored so I made a part 2 of my sniping compilation...
"Bullying my opponents in Titanfall 2 for 6 minutes straight"

[cursive crypt]

Too frantic. It is for amphetamine users.

Even more fast-paced?

[broken sigil]

It's quite fun, I love arena shooter and this is kinda like it

[errant raven]

I played Apex today

Shit game

Any multiplayer fps is a shit game on console

[cursive crypt]

I wonder how you can be precise when shooting with a controller.

[errant raven]

Chronus zen

[cursive crypt]

Some hack?

[errant raven]

Yeah, pretty common on consoles

[cursive crypt]

I mean, is it official support for disabled users?

[errant raven]

Yeah that's its purpose but you know how people are

[cursive crypt]

Still, it should be fine without 3rd party software. I have seen only auto-aim support working and that near cheating for multi.

[errant raven]

6/10 players in a overwatch game will be using a chronus. Uninstalled that shit fest

[broken sigil]

Majority of Apex pros has switched to a controller for a reason 😆

[errant raven]

Apexs aim assist is really strong too

[cursive crypt]

Because aim assist? wtf

[broken sigil]

yeah

[errant raven]

Close to a $5 aimbot level

[broken sigil]

it's pretty OP

[cursive crypt]

And that PRO?

Ridicilous.

[broken sigil]

in a 1v1 close range against a controller you basically have no chance if you are on a keyboard (which is why majority of pros have switched)

[errant raven]

I aim better with mouse and keyboard than I can with any controller with op aim assists

[broken sigil]

yeah

[cursive crypt]

Back to your Origin.

[cursive crypt]

Are you sure these are Pros and not cheaters? 🤔

I mean, for other multi FPS, they do that too? I don't watch professional gaming, so I wonder.

[errant raven]

Pros wouldnt need to rely on aim assist

[broken sigil]

well controller aim assist = aimbot in Apex

[errant raven]

Apex is a cesspool of desperados tho

[broken sigil]

They started switching because some pros who were already on controllers to begin with had a pretty huge unfair advantage
Aim assist in Apex is way stronger than it should be

[errant raven]

I know, made fortnites look like childs play

Funny how Apex's report screen has "impossible recoil control" option. Considering the aim assist is so strong it controls most the recoil for you

[broken sigil]

lol

[errant raven]

Didnt Microsoft say they was gonna ban chronus from xbox and detect if people are using them

Why does chronus even exist, we all know it isnt really for disabled people. Most you see on twitch got good with pure sweat and effort

Even a blind guy plays csgo with extreme precision

There was one guy who actually used it to account for the things his disability wouldnt allow him to do at all. I think it was a battle field player or something

[cursive crypt]

Easy Assets app

[errant raven]

Epic fully banned the device completely from being used in any of their games

[queen isle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoSodiumStarfield/comments/17nvxpw/after_100_attempts_made_this_awesome_beer_pong/
this is what people do in the goat xbox game ever?

[errant raven]

Doubt it. That's a lot of income for devices between 30-60$

Hard to say, considering autism and stuff like that counts as a disability.

That's also the sales revenue for that one device. They have several different types if devices

65k sales for once that's 60-90$ bucks depending on retailer, scary how many sales the cheaper ones have

Dont mind if they use it, but when it's a dude who hasn't showered in two months with dishes piled up on his desk with 2L mountain dew bottles everywhere that's where the line gets drawn

[brittle holly]

Impressive tech demo but I lol at the people in the comments going “oh I hope it takes them another 10-20 years to make finish this game”, kinda shows the sad irony of this seemingly endless scope creep project. If they do manage to somehow make this game function properly and release that would be quite the feat and they can shit all over Starfield, but I’m not holding my breath. Still, gotta give credit to the music artists for this video https://youtu.be/nWm_OhIKms8?si=x-LsTE8P1TSgNTS9

[scarlet cedar]

They don't really need to worry about making a good or complete game. The fact they raised hundreds of millions just from their players is proof that it's basically just a money printing machine

[brittle holly]

So was Theranos, for a while 😀

[scarlet cedar]

Ye except unlike Theranos, star citizen actually has a product

[versed vector]

at the moment, SC has the opposite problem vs. starfield. The realism that produces an impressive level of initial immersion starts to get tedious. Sitting 10 minutes waiting to get to your destination, walking 5+ min from spawn to your ship. Getting stuck in prison and having to either wait, mine rocks or escape through a VERY confusing tunnel and die on the surface because players camp the exit... I don't know if they will continue with the 'realism at all costs' approach or soften it down a little bit somehow. It's still really buggy too. A lot of the difficult stuff is working to some degree but I'll be surprised if the MP ever really gets fully ironed out.

[brittle holly]

So far it’s been just unfulfilled promises and less than minimum viable product but hey I like to be pleasantly surprised

[brittle holly]

Yeah, what I noticed in that tech demo is that they have realistic sweat and tears, yet the textures looked brown and dull, the explosion following the 2 ships colliding looked like early 2000s graphics, and the characters seemed to be janky if you paid attention to them while they quickly skimmed past them

[versed vector]

the assets they made at the start that looked good at the time now no longer really look very special 😅

[brittle holly]

I worry even with loads of polishing, it’s not gonna work out well in something that’s supposed to be a realtime mmorpg

[versed vector]

there's all sorts of mechanics issues that aren't being addressed now and I can only imagine what a very large and active playerbase would uncover...

[brittle holly]

Feels like this game’s development should be the textbook’s answer for scope creep

[versed vector]

absolutely

[brittle holly]

Even if they’re not out to scam people, they’re kinda doing it by perpetually trying to add more stuff rather than make the current features work

[versed vector]

a lot of the current playerbase seems to think they just need to iron out some bugs and release more systems...People are gonna break that shit so fast though, the crazy eve online people will come in and find every little seam

[empty dune]

My ship has a functional kitchen and bathroom!

That's gotta count for something right?

[brittle holly]

Didn’t you say that the kitchen is pointless?

[empty dune]

Never mind the fact that I couldn't log in for like 2 months

[empty dune]

It is lmao

[brittle holly]

lol, jeez that’s worse than that TheDivision patch that made the UI overlap itself, rendering it pretty much unplayable with no fix for a month

[empty dune]

How dare you use my comment as the test Guinea pig

[empty dune]

Oh this was worse, much much worse. Because it was actually a bold step towards the future of networking. You couldn't even be mad at them because what they were doing was so new

[brittle holly]

BM’s been using your StarCitizen bathroom for years ?

[empty dune]

Basically they wanted full object persistence for their servers

And it worked

Mostly

[brittle holly]

lol

[empty dune]

Problem was the more garbage piled up on the planets, the servers got slower and made it impossible to log in

[regal pecan]

That's not exactly original. Maybe hubristic (?) to do at scale.

[empty dune]

I meant at their scale, it was new

[broken sigil]

[brittle holly]

It seems uh… ill advised to do this

[regal pecan]

Even very optimized, you'd hope they rented a lot of hard drives.

[empty dune]

Eve online does something similar but on a much more cut back way

[brittle holly]

Btw @broken sigil I finished PL

[empty dune]

@broken sigil creep

[regal pecan]

When 10,000 players all agree to dump their trash in one place, say goodbye to your O(n log n) implementations.

[broken sigil]

How was it?
Did you fulfill her request? You probably know which one 😅

[brittle holly]

Idk, eve online is all nice until you realize 1) how toxic it is 2) how time dilation is used to mitigate performance, which ingenious as it may be, who the hell wants to play at 0.0005 fps? 😅

[brittle holly]

I did yeah

[broken sigil]

Do you plan on doing the other ending or should I go full spoiler mode

[brittle holly]

The reviews were right. ||More depressing af endings were added to the existing ones lol|| mind you I still have to finish the main story again

[empty dune]

Eve online is for when you need a asylum home but can't afford the costs. Then again that's not exactly true given how much eve online ships cost

Its spreadsheet simulator : the game

[brittle holly]

Honestly, not really. ||Cause I can tell it’ll prly be just as depressing lol. ||

[empty dune]

Also I've played in a time dilated fleet battle, i was watching youtube videos in between my actions while the fleet commander freaked out and screamed at us in the voice chat

[celest musk]

even worse imho

[broken sigil]

Can I talk about it then

[brittle holly]

I was part of Goons at one point years ago because I got tired of the game encouraging piracy and scams so I was like f it. Took part in major battles but I didn’t last long before I left the game. Went back last year, tried to join a normal corp to just do transport. They treated it like it’s a fricken IRL interview and said I’m shady cause I was in the Goons 7 years prior

I was like holy fuck I don’t need extra interview rejections from some people taking themselves way too seriously in a game lol

So I just uninstalled

[brittle holly]

Yes

[versed vector]

'physicalized frozen ocean' 🤔

[empty dune]

Lmao you were goon? I was in the horde. Reddit dogma states that we must now duel to the death

[brittle holly]

For like… 2 weeks or so

[brittle holly]

Ik I questioned some of these terms lol

[empty dune]

Lmao, i was there for a few months

[brittle holly]

I read the Mitani went out with a whimper

[empty dune]

Oh yeah the eve online Corp leadership take themselves way too seriously

Mitani saga was fun to watch ngl

Narcissistic ass

[brittle holly]

I mean no joke, just actual terms you’d hear in a job interview, like F off lol I just wanna fly a ship from A to B

[versed vector]

I watched that super long documentary recently, had no idea eve had all that stuff going on

[empty dune]

Eve has had peer reviewed economic, cultural and anthropological studies done on it

[brittle holly]

I miss Elite Dangerous, wish they actually took that in the right direction

[empty dune]

Its insane

[brittle holly]

Well yeah, when people spend millions on a game, it’s bound to make some waves

[empty dune]

Same man, elite dangerous was murdered in a back alley and it was so unfair

[brittle holly]

And then you see Starfield using loading screens or “StarEngine” acting like space to planet transitions are innovative lol

[empty dune]

Back in the horde i had to submit literal report sheets of my daily progress to requisition the fleet bcs

I was a teenager then so it was cool

Now im like why tf did i put up with that

[versed vector]

this video was the first time I had seen the term 'starengine' 🫠 cryengine>lumberyard>'starengine'???

[versed vector]

I bet, seems like a good resource for studies

[empty dune]

Funny thing is my actual econ course professor used it in one of our classes

Cool guy

[brittle holly]

What prly started that trend was that article about the massive battle where people lost the equivalent of an ungodly amount of money in ships

[empty dune]

Yeah the first goonswarm invasion

It was what, 2005?

Something like that

[brittle holly]

What was the context? “Don’t do what these whales did” ?

[empty dune]

No it was just "this is how you use economic statistics to calculate various metrics"

[brittle holly]

I actually met a whale IRL and I don’t mean the majestic animal

[empty dune]

But instead of pulling up a country's data, he pulled up eve online

Ive met many whales, one of those just "gifted" me a 250$ ingame item just because I happened to mention it was my birthday

[brittle holly]

The dude was complaining of having to pay too much money for his cell phone data, because he couldn’t afford it because he spent 20 grand on a mobile game in the past 7 years. Was very serious and proud about this fact, nvm that it looked like he didn’t own more than that set of clothes and hadn’t learned about hygiene

[empty dune]

Weird people with way too much money

Lmao, wtf

[regal pecan]

with way too much money bad spending habits

[brittle holly]

Or terrible priorities

[empty dune]

Ive met this one millionaire dude who used to play world of tanks with me. You know that riccitello quote about 1$ per reload? Yeah, that dude used premium ammo that could only be bought with cash and each shot was 2-3$

Mfer had 20k battles

Each battle is about 20-30 rounds

Rounds as in ammo

[regal pecan]

Not that dissimilar from having a pay-per-text plan.

[brittle holly]

Texts are unlimited on nearly every plan now

[empty dune]

Nah, about a decade ago I had to pay per sms

[brittle holly]

Yes, I rmbr those days

Ok, BM send it lol

[empty dune]

Lmao

[broken sigil]

Major spoilers for cyberpunk PL, warning for anyone reading this ⚠️
|| So the reason why I decided to help her is because I found her medical record, fia refused he treatment for her condition because "she was still able to do her duty" that's when I realized what she tells you in the missions birdd with broken wings is true. In her ending you send her off to moon where she will get treatment, she tells you the neural matrix can only be used once, she admits that she lied to you but it's pretty clear she regrets it (at that point she id dying pretty much), (dialog also suggests she might have intended to help but learned it's 1 use only when she got to the bunker), you then have a choice to give her to reed or bring her to the ship, I ended up helping her (you have a standoff with reed in this ending)... My reason for helping her was because she was blackmailed into joining FIA, used by Myers as a weapon to breach the bpackwall and as a result cause damage to herself which ended up with her losing like 90% of her body plus later FIA refusing her treatment. So this was a desperate attempt at her only chance to get away, so it only felt right to help her considering how desperate her situation was ||

|| The concert at the black Sapphire basically is foreshadowing this ending, chained wolf looking thing is Reed (controlled and loyal to Myers), the spider is myers pulling the strings and the last scene signifies the ship taking off ||

[broken sigil]

I screwed up the spoiler lmao

Is it clear that I'm way too much into this story 😅

[brittle holly]

lol yeah I get it. Tbh, my shitty attention span makes it so that I barely read any of the PDA texts or emails I I find lying around, but the game ||does a decent job of showing she kinda got screwed over when you see her visions. As for there only being one does, that was plain obvious given that everyone said PL integrates perfectly into the main story so clearly we ain’t getting out of the expansion with a cure lol. ||

Also

||If it were literally anyone other than Idris Elba I might have considered helping her to begin with 😀||

[broken sigil]

||btw you can get the cure if you give her up in her ending or don't kill her but honestly feels pretty bad, V is left with absolutely nothing, won't spoil it much more||

[brittle holly]

Instead the whole time I was like I know what I’m gonna choose when the time comes lol

[brittle holly]

||I considered it, but then what happens, the main story just goes on as is ?||

[broken sigil]

|| haha yeah having to shoot him felt terrible lol ||

[broken sigil]

||You get an early ending basically||

[brittle holly]

||Yeah, first I’d be terrified of him, and second I just couldn’t bring myself to shoot him lol||

[brittle holly]

Oh weird, I didn’t expect that

I love how we turned #lounge into an FIA classified record 😁

Everything redacted lol

[brittle holly]

But yeah I figured it might help but you can’t really not take pity in that moment

[broken sigil]

|| but yeah I felt bad for her and ended up helping (sending her to moon), finding that medical record was probably the key point that made my decision. Her and V are like 2 sides of the same coin, she is trying to survive just like V||

[brittle holly]

Maybe, but they said Idris was “too street” to play Bond, so I had to give him this one 🙃

[broken sigil]

Hahah 😅

I'm most definitely gonna replay it once more, deserves another run

Maybe after alan wake 2 new game +, which should be out this month

[broken sigil]

|| when I watched my dad play it, he negotiated all the way to the end and in the last second spared him, said he felt bad for Reed, Reed also got pretty screwed by fia too, on that train from the trailer, myers ordered Song to screw him over basically||

[brittle holly]

Yeah, I know he kept saying like ah yeah I got f-ed but it’s ok lol

And I’d be like no! It’s not ok, they did you dirty!

[broken sigil]

This dlc was so well made
I maybe even like this story more than the main game lol

And I love the main game

[brittle holly]

||~~but I kept hoping for that date with Myers so I stayed polite until the end when I asked about a reward and she told me here’s 5,000 credits f u.||

[broken sigil]

||I felt so bad for him, but did for both of them ||

[broken sigil]

|| 🤣 ||

[brittle holly]

I just found it incredible how much work they put into this expansion and how much production value it has. Meanwhile COD charging full price for 4h of crappy campaign and asset flip #7

[broken sigil]

Yeah lol

This dlc could have been a standalone game for 60$ and I wouldn't have complained, it's that good

[brittle holly]

||Like it literally had a small horror game in it in that cynosure level lol||

[broken sigil]

|| oh yeah, the alien isolation part lol ||

[brittle holly]

That’s why I didn’t feel like waiting for it to go on sale, it was worth giving them full price even before having played it

[brittle holly]

||Haha, I was gonna say alien isolation too lol||

That’s what it felt like minus hiding in lockers and holding my breath

[broken sigil]

Yeah, it's been over a month since I finished it and I still can't stop thinking about this game

[brittle holly]

I’m prly not helping lol

[broken sigil]

😆

[brittle holly]

Love some of the new soundtrack too, I need to find the one in the Hansen battle tho

[broken sigil]

Nah I love any chance I can get to talk about it 😅

[broken sigil]

Gate K9

That one?

[brittle holly]

Yeah I guess they hid it in the deluxe edition 😀 thx

[broken sigil]

You know how much I'm obsessed with this game when I know what track plays at what section of the game lmao

[brittle holly]

Kinda reminds me of a Matrix Reloaded soundtrack lol

[brittle holly]

Yeah I listen to Force Projection while driving 😅

[broken sigil]

Check out Choke hold by Idris Elba, it's his track in the game

And never look back is pretty good

[brittle holly]

Ik, that and rollacoaster, we had that convo earlier 😀

[broken sigil]

Oh yeah 😂

[brittle holly]

Yeah I like almost every track on the score and the soundtrack

[broken sigil]

It's so good

Now I sadly need to go to bed lol

[brittle holly]

Yeah same take care

[foggy path]

Has Tim Epic been lying to us

[fleet tangle]

I always knew Tim was an all powerful master of darkness.

[cursive crypt]

It doesn't look bad game. Never heard of it before though.

[fluid bloom]

unreal, by ubi soft, published by electronic arts

sounds pretty cursed

[chrome gull]

Detroit: Become Human or Satisfactory?

I played the demo of DBH and quite liked it

[fleet tangle]

Satisfactory is quite nice if you like slow paced builder games.

It could have use some... difficulty or threat.

[chrome gull]

I see

I am ideally aiming for a game where I can just chill out

[fleet tangle]

Satisfactory is good for that.

I might play it again actually.

It will suck most of your month away, though.

[cursive crypt]

Detroit for the movie effect. Factorio for the gaming.

[chrome gull]

ahh that is problematic then lol

[chrome gull]

ahh, factorio seems too... not appealing for me

idk why

[fleet tangle]

It's got bad graphics.

[pearl elk]

Detroitio

[fleet tangle]

Even for pixel art games, it's pretty awful.

[cursive crypt]

I thought so too, before trying it out. It really clicks the 2d

[chrome gull]

agreed, kinda

ohh factorio is out of my budget

[fleet tangle]

Fuck it. I'm installing Satisfactory.

[pearl elk]

Nooo dont do it

[chrome gull]

I bought the System Shock remake and have some money remaining

[cursive crypt]

Factorio has a trial

[chrome gull]

so I am planning to make another purchase

[pearl elk]

You'll never make the quantum thinngymajig

[fleet tangle]

If you like auto attackers renfield is pretty fun. Though not at all chill.

[regal pecan]

There is no need to get factorio. Satisfactory, maybe.

[fleet tangle]

Hmm

I definitely own satisfactory, but it's not on my steam list?!

[chrome gull]

yeah factorio is out of the question for me

[pearl elk]

EGS

[chrome gull]

maybe EGS?

[pearl elk]

Satisfactory still isnt even released official yet lawlz

[chrome gull]

ahh I don't mind EA games

[pearl elk]

Buy a finished game 😅

[chrome gull]

tbh I never played an EA game

so

[fleet tangle]

Hmm. That might be it. I definitely bought the EA thing on steam...

[pearl elk]

I play a few and I barely play them once they get the release

[chrome gull]

ack this is confusing asf

[fleet tangle]

What the hell, I don't own it?!

[pearl elk]

Buy Star Citizen

Its more chill than Eve

[cursive crypt]

It is really a good game. I don't like the 3d of Satisfactory e.g. it derails from the gameplay. But I understand that there are taste profiles.

[pearl elk]

Taste profiles sounds like some sort of litmus taste test from Starfield

[fleet tangle]

It's even more chill to just take your money and set it on fire.

[chrome gull]

lmao

[cursive crypt]

You have played Starfield?!

https://tenor.com/view/oh-no-im-out-shit-nope-gif-13022980607546877972

[chrome gull]

I pre-ordered the deluxe edition

;-;

[cursive crypt]

Rip

[chrome gull]

but tbh I played it for 60 hours so I got my money's worth

[fleet tangle]

This is why games aren't good any more

[chrome gull]

and it was fun

[fleet tangle]

Preorders and deluxe editions.

[chrome gull]

bruh this is one of the only 2 games I have ever pre-ordered

[fleet tangle]

So?

[pearl elk]

I tried to play it, combat is good if you can get to it past all the dialog

[fleet tangle]

And the constant loading? 😄

[chrome gull]

look I don't want to have this conversation lol, Fallout 4 is my favorite game of all time

and I expected similar shit from Starfield

[pearl elk]

I had it on a very fast SSD so loading wasnt too bad. Im just not a particular fan of Bathesdas encumbrance systems

[chrome gull]

I just used a console command to make it 999999999

[pearl elk]

To level up your stamina you have to jog around encumbered soooo many times its really silly

[chrome gull]

do this and life will become so much easier

[pearl elk]

I prefer games where you just loot the things you need rather than useless junk. Im not impressed by throwing random bits and bobs, it aint the 90s

[chrome gull]

Fallout 4 did this thing where everything had a purpose

legendary

gosh I love FO4

I have a new copy installed with 150+ modes ready to be launched

but I didn't yet

[pearl elk]

150+ and the games still jank 🤣

[chrome gull]

it plays very smoothly for me

I can slide and use jetpacks

guns are slick

[pearl elk]

Hot take, if people were as easy on Bioware as Bethesda Andromeda would be praised

[chrome gull]

I should play ME:LE

I own it

never really gave it a fair chance

eh whatever I am buying satisfactory

[pearl elk]

Stardew Valley

Thats what you mean right, cuz you wanna chill and grow space beans

Satisfarmery

[empty dune]

buy a finished game
Buy scam citizen

Make up your mind!

[empty dune]

Andromeda was a good game, ill die on this hill

[celest musk]

did anyone here use https://www.unrealsales.io/tracker/register? registration seems broken?!

i'm curious about the price history of UMGSpline, i'm pretty sure that it was on sale for ~$6 few days ago, now its twice the price?!

[cursive crypt]

I like fallout 4 too, but I don't get the same vibe from Starfield. Too much recycling, too much loading.

[cursive crypt]

I think I use it. Check on Orbital marketplace.

[celest musk]

yea, he raised from $15 base price to $30...

fuck it

now the thing that broke my hearth. there is a Rubiks cube, and nothig is right about it.
it's unsolveable, but also wrong in every way possible.

[pearl elk]

I played it on release and thought it was decent enough, I enjoyed the combat and driving around. Had a few issues with how the RPG stuff worked and some odd decisions on how to move around the map with taking off and landing even when youre moving to the next spot over. Im looking forward to seeing what they can do with new tech now but the next one probably isnt made by many of the OGs from the original trilogy

[empty dune]

I enjoyed the combat and driving of Andromeda too. The writing wasn't old bioware level but it was serviceable. Imo the fatal mistake was calling it mass effect. If only it wasn't called that, Andromeda would have been successful. Calling it mass effect made it impossible for it to reach that high standard

Im not very hopeful about mass effect 4 tbh, its probably gonna be bad

But i like that ||destroy/red|| is now canon

[pearl elk]

Well I think it works as part of the same franchise thats probably the reason they kept with the name, they just dont know in advance if it'll end up as a saga so its difficult to plan that far ahead

[empty dune]

Yeah, i meant like if you take Andromeda and asset flip it to a new original ip, its a pretty good game

[pearl elk]

trouble with that is alot of the alien races are shared, I just think people wanted more of the originals rather than the subtitled. Maybe they coulda done like Andromeda set in the Mass Effect Universe

Not to be confused with Gene Rodenberrys Andromeda staring Kevin Sorbo 😛

[fleet tangle]

Oh satisfactory has enemies and multiplayer now.

That's neat!

[cursive crypt]

It is not a new thing for sellers to rise the prices before sale. However iirc these can be reported to the MP team.

[empty dune]

What do you even do in satisfactory?

It looks like it has no objective except what you make for yourself

[pearl elk]

I thought it always did 😮

[fleet tangle]

hmm

It doesn't appear to have a workshop any more.

I swear I had a load of QoL mods installed.

Oh it has a custom thing.

[pearl elk]

you build widgets, each widget unlocks new widgets until you build all the widgets

[empty dune]

Okay so basically no objective except collect them all

[pearl elk]

Ive never got that far, I have a setup but I dont wanna leave my PC running the game while it builds for 20hrs to finish the game

[empty dune]

Lol, yeah satisfactory is going off of my wishlist

Oh wow forspoken is 30$

Good good, lower please

10$ is what id pay for it lol

[pearl elk]

games never go on sale anymore, its just limited time regular price

They still be selling old CoDs for full release price in 25 years

[celest musk]

i'm not a snitch, but i'm not going to buy it now, got ~$8 bucks left on a prepaid card and thought i would get it -_-

but i don't really need it right now, so i'll just throw the money at someone else...

[empty dune]

Electronic nodes! Darker nodes!

[celest musk]

i own electronic nodes, and darker nodes is too expensive rn

also since UE5 restyle, really not that much difference anymore

[empty dune]

I bought both for like 9$ each

[empty dune]

Nah, it looks much prettier

[pearl elk]

No nodes

[empty dune]

Well, there's that one plugin that let's you write cpp as custom nodes so, they've got you covered!

[celest musk]

magic nodes!?

[empty dune]

Think so

[pearl elk]

Ummz plugin, the engine lets you do that by default

[celest musk]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/magic-node

[empty dune]

The engine let's you write cpp as BP nodes? What

[celest musk]

actually... is that plugin good?

sometimes i wish i could test things before writing code in rider and restarting the editor for 100 times

[cursive crypt]

I think it looks good just on first sight. Been eyeing it before.

[empty dune]

@intaxeren said it was good, so idk

[pearl elk]

Angelscript is free

[cursive crypt]

C++ is free too

[celest musk]

isn't anglescript a whole engine fork?

[pearl elk]

But yeah you write BP nodes in CPP,

[cursive crypt]

Yes 👎

[pearl elk]

I try not to use too many plugins because of the mess of dependencies

[cursive crypt]

Buy kebap/donners with these $8 left.

[cursive crypt]

And sometimes authors disappear or don't upgrade.

[empty dune]

Yeah that is a huge problem

[celest musk]

it's also more fun if you have to update all your homebrew stuff with every engine update /s

[pearl elk]

Yeah if they are good they release on github before going off the MP

[celest musk]

well, then you still have to be lucky that someone else updates it 😄

[empty dune]

Let me know if you get this ever, i wanna know if it's as good as it sounds

[celest musk]

it's free!?

or i got it free at some point?!

[empty dune]

Wha

Its not free

[celest musk]

hmm, but it was at some point

[pearl elk]

Yeah you gotta maintain, least Angelscript is maintained by others atm

[empty dune]

Wait, it is free

[celest musk]

because i'm sure that i didn't buy it

[empty dune]

I swear I saw a price tag though

Why they made a bundle for FL Studio but they don't even give you FL Studio but a 20% discount paying 32€ when the actual FL Studio version they offer is 99€

[hollow dawn]

if you think youre on the minecraft discord but something feels so different

[tulip orbit]

I looked the other day and I think the FL website actually has a better sale on right now, and I doubt you could stack the discounts

[median wraith]

Yep it looks like, this just seems like a bundle of plugins

aside from this is kinda sad that Rockstar sell a game at full price but if filled with hackers, how cool, enter to do missions and you get teleported to the center of the map flying

idk how they make the multiplayer that allows clients to control the game

I loved this movie

[unreal ether]

I think my favourite one, was that if a hacker got your rockstar id, they could join your single player game

I had one once when I joined a lobby, and the guy was doxxing someone. Naturally reported he guy, but he just kept following me from lobby to lobby, even into invite only and solo sessions

[chrome gull]

[timber viper]

Alcoholic ones are the people defending gamedev.tv at cpp

[errant raven]

Fortnite anyone

[hollow dawn]

u cant even report em... most "modders" (lol) use a script that camouflages their rockstar id as someone totally innocent... rockstar games are really the worst in regards to hacking, u basicially cant play GTA or Red Dead cus the session will crash since someone had to fiddele around with cheats and the game cant handle it... only solution, forced and isolated solo lobby... nexusmods has tools for that if you dont wanna fuck with taskmanager everytime, can even play with friends that way (changes gamecode slightly, only allowing people with the same changes to join up cus file version bla, seed based)

it goes below up to -5c max, for a week or so each year

Huh, interesting. You must be in one of the few cold places.

[timber viper]

since we damaged atmosphere severely and this year's summer was hot af, probably this winter will reach -10c too

I like it for some reason lol

better than being too hot

[broken sigil]

Meta learning basically, according to the leak it was suggesting changes to make to itself, so there is awareness of itself

If this is actually the case that's a massive step towards AGI

They were apparently experimenting with different kind of training, instead of autoregressive unsupervised training it was Q learning, type of reinforcement learning where the model is thought to solve problems in steps

[regal pecan]

It's probably a quote from someone's ChatGPT session.

[broken sigil]

Llama 1 was leaked on 4chan and ended up being true months later

[chrome gull]

ahhh I see, so glad to be alive in this world at its current state

[broken sigil]

It could be made up completely but it would be huge if true

[chrome gull]

prefer the former honestly

I'd like AI advancements to wait until I turn at least 50 lol

[broken sigil]

Q learning is something people have experimented with, with transformer models and even openai has published some papers around it so makes it a tiny bit believable

[regal pecan]

If something has a good chance of being "made up completely" , maybe you should take that more seriously.

[chrome gull]

so about 3 decades later

what's the significance of the letter Q?

[timber viper]

At least, qualia is a nice name to call it

[regal pecan]

And a star trek character.

[chrome gull]

right right

[broken sigil]

Eh I don't believe it's true but the methods (q learning) mentioned in the "leak" are, which I'm mostly focusing on

Qtransformer exists and it has started being used in robotics

Has showed state of the art generalization abilities

[broken sigil]

Training method, where you have a state, some action, reward and observable transition from one state to another

It basically teaches the model to solve a problem in steps

[empty dune]

This buzzword salad sounds exactly like that, a salad

A fraud

[broken sigil]

I'm leaning towards 90% made up, but the fact that open ai researchers have published papers for concepts mentioned in that makes it at least a very tiny bit believable

[empty dune]

That's not really a good enough leg to stand on but i guess

[brittle holly]

Idk “the AI cracked the encryption and we don’t fully understand how” is not exactly implausible

[broken sigil]

That's actually the most believable part 😅

Well either way we will know soon enough if it's real or fake

Only openai knows

[empty dune]

No the problem is it doesn't look like an internal report. It doesn't even look like a memo. It reads suspiciously like a scp dossier

If it's real, where are the figures? The data sets? There is barebones detail except for the specific mention of AES 192

[brittle holly]

Fair enough

[regal pecan]

If the goal is to receive undue attention, it has already succeeded.

[unborn lotus]

I made it home just as it started snowing, now we have 30cm, roads are closed

[cursive crypt]

I hope a truck pass and clear our street. I'm waiting a courier to bring us a new sofa. I don't feel like dragging it across the snow.

[fluid bloom]

bought skis

rip wallet

[tulip orbit]

on the brightside, now you can get to hristew's house 🙂

[fluid bloom]

800 euros for a complete set xO

[tulip orbit]

is that a lot? I dunno euros

[fleet tangle]

Bout $900?

[median wraith]

whats that ?

also thats maps ?

[tulip orbit]

that... seems expensive? for a decent set of skis? I dunno prices of skis... but I'm thinking ya shoulda just strapped some 2x4's to your feet

[median wraith]

idk here that isn't usual aside from mountain towns

isn't like we got a lot of snow either close to the sea

[slim atlas]

Hevedy can i hab 800 euro

I deserve it

[unborn lotus]

Yes it google maps traffic...all roads closed

[median wraith]

the what

[median wraith]

welp, I used to use Waze its better on my use case than maps for realtime reports

[median wraith]

how are called those games where you have to score the most by distance traveled ?

[queen isle]

you mean like a endless runner game?

[median wraith]

no at all, can be endless but are those you have todo a jump or something

can be on the bottle yeah

but maybe I'm thinking more on minigames than actual games

like those mods in fortnite you jump with a car and have to score the most in the jump

[queen isle]

don't really think there's a genre name for that

[median wraith]

Fall Guys maybe is a combo of those

[queen isle]

fall guys-like

that dark blue is impossible to read

well not impossible but it's messing with my eyes

[chrome gull]

ugly, 3/10

[broken sigil]

I'm giving it 6.5/10

[mossy nexus]

-⁴10

[broken sigil]

I like having everything color coded, classes, structs, functions, static functions, local vars, member vars
It's probably helping with my dyslexia because I have less to read to figure out what I'm looking at

[median wraith]

Tessellation were re added to the engine but can be used only with Nanite?

whyyy

[empty dune]

eye cancer/10

[timber viper]

fortnite

[cursive crypt]

That a bit too uniform imo. I prefer low variation. Which is still not the disco colors I see frequently.

[mossy nexus]

coz it's cheaper to run nanite on the GPU and have tesslation done there at the same time

[thick oracle]

my eyes are bleeding but they are bleeding in playstation 2
8/10

[median wraith]

Tessellation were always on GPU 😿

[broken sigil]

Today I learned that it's pretty common for flies to accidentally screw their head off while cleaning themselves

It might be slightly disturbing to some but it's kinda funny

natural selection at its finest lol

[median wraith]

yeah notice it awhile ago, just like when they have a 2x2m window open but they are stuck with the closed one of 1m

someone have FluidNinja live ? knows if you can read values from the flowmaps or so ?

[versed vector]

I believe it can (don't have it though)

[cursive crypt]

I have it, but can't check now. You can go ask on their Discord tho.

[versed vector]

maybe just noise rather than actual user-defined flow maps?

[mossy nexus]

I can send you soem used T shirts if ya like lol

[mossy nexus]

It uses render targets.

[median wraith]

yeah maybe that more the question

I was checking the UE5 water for a river but seems like really basic sim

found a super complex water sim on the marketplace but thats the other side around too complex lol

[river sable]

i've heard good things about fluid flux but also that it's fairly heavy to run

[errant raven]

Look at these nerds talking nerdy

[errant raven]

Fortnite:

empty area, no ones around.
shoot one bullet and entire server is there for the sound
live or die skirmish
repeat

[brittle holly]

lol just hit the Spotify AI playlist and got an AI telling me how he’s gonna play stuff for me

[errant raven]

No one tells you how to play music unless they're trying to sneak in some parodies

[marsh glen]

heeey where is this person in voicechat?

i cant find them

also YAAAAAY my coder isnt dead

XD

[errant raven]

Fortnites ranked mode is a joke

[regal pecan]

If you don't play multiplayer to stream snipe aimbotting influencers, can you even call yourself hardcore?

[errant raven]

I stream snipe everyone

Diamond 1. Is this ranking system made for children? I ranked up like 7-8 times in 3 hours

[plain ibex]

conversation irrelevant meme incoming!

[tulip orbit]

conversation irrelevant? there was no conversation

[cursive crypt]

Was there a meme?

[tulip orbit]

not really

[cursive crypt]

No convo, no meme, no life.

[timber viper]

at least we have anime

[tulip orbit]

I'd post a gif reply to that, but it'd probably get me banned

maybe if it wasn't 299 lol

[timber viper]

[broken sigil]

yeah it does

ok I kinda want this now

[cursive crypt]

Maybe ask someone with 3d printer for some simple figures. Can make you few cyberpunk waifus if you so desire.

[timber viper]

https://tenor.com/view/but-wait-nope-gif-14217892

(disappaers to do that)

[broken sigil]

buying a 3d/resin printer has been on my to do list... checks notes... for at least 5 years

[timber viper]

i have a lot of friends

that has 3d printers

I need to beg them to print rem figure for me

[broken sigil]

Resin printers are the new ish fancy ones that cure the resin with lasers and can do tiny details much more accurantely afaik

[wide socket]

Do you guys know Masterline?

I used to collect figurines, threw the old ones now. Just gonna save money to get a few quality ones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vwEh9fp_vQ&ab_channel=スクウェア・エニックス

[broken sigil]

I never even played that game and I want that 😆

[wide socket]

After seeing that, I can't go back to normal figurine 😔

but it's very expensive because they require actual hand to craft

[timber viper]

I played it, its a weird one

[empty dune]

if only we could 3d print space marines

[timber viper]

in japanese they have a huge fanbase for 2b (the girl facing you in the figures)

[broken sigil]

yeah I watched some Japanese vlogs and I feel like 2b is everywhere lol

[timber viper]

it has some aura

[cursive crypt]

Game had achievement for looking under her skirt more than X minutes(?).

[timber viper]

I wonder how they explained staff to add that achivement

[broken sigil]

2b and that blue long haired anime girl whateverhernameisIdon'tknowIdon'twatchanime™️

Why is 8 am a time for sleep?

[timber viper]

its his usual routine

also mine

i will sleep in an hour

[cursive crypt]

You sleep until afternoon?

[timber viper]

evening

7-8pm

its 10am right now here

[broken sigil]

It's my screwed up sleep schedule, I wake up at like 3-4pm

It's better than it was, I used to wake up at 9-10pm

[cursive crypt]

Sounds like no city life. No office interactions, no stores, etc.

I'm on the opposite, 4-5 am waking up.

[tulip orbit]

I'm constantly in the process of waking up... all day, once I've actually woken up its time to goto bed

[north dragon]

With Live++ getting support for CLang, mb we'll be able to get a LiveCoding on non-Windows machines at some point?:)

[deep glen]

I just heard that --besides-- 5 days of work, I'll have the entire of december off.

https://tenor.com/bVXan.gif

[river sable]

I have awoken to the beautiful sounds of drilling and hammers today, so lovely

[cursive crypt]

Same here actually. Kinda wonder what to do.

[unborn lotus]

heyooo... 4 30 am gang

I do go to sleep at 9PM

[proud jay]

you do shift work?

or just shit work?

[proud jay]

how do you hear this?

and how only now

and is it paid

and is it on top of days off that you can plan yourself?

[slim atlas]

luos got dietered

https://tenor.com/view/worms-revolution-worms-game-team17-victory-dance-gif-6554049621869868851

[proud jay]

but does it use your normal vacation days

cause I know people that have to take holidays in december cause the company closes, but it's using their own holidays

so you just can't use them at another time

I hate that system

[deep glen]

it doesnt

but doesnt go for me, as my contract is a bit different.

[proud jay]

very cool

I have the last 2 weeks of december off

but I planned that myself

cause still had some holidays left that I needed to use

I actually still have 10 days left, but those I can carry over / pay out

[deep glen]

snipped

[proud jay]

but I can use the money to compensate for getting a new company car slightly above my budget, so I think I will do that

[deep glen]

yea, you mentioned that.

[proud jay]

I still have to wait till january though 😔

now I have to maintain the hype for over a month

idk what I'm gonna do with my 2 weeks either though

what do people do in their free time

although I did start playing spiderman 2 yesterday, so if I don't finish it by then I can do that

it's great

but then what to do with the other 12 days 🤔

[worldly sapphire]

I've got the last three weeks off in December and the first week of January

I've been setting aside my PTO and now I suddenly don't know how I'm going to fill all that up

I've booked four nights in Bilbao though so that's at east something

[deep glen]

I'll just make crappy music

[proud jay]

sounds like a plan

[worldly sapphire]

lets start a band

[proud jay]

a contra band?

[tulip orbit]

death metal swing band

[tulip orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scratch-itchy-gif-14073736

so I have to plan a meeting with this woman

but she doesn't work fulltime for our company

but she also doesn't put in her calendar when she does

how am I supposed to plan anything with that

[slim atlas]

She will get the Dieter

I feel it

Dieter is the man

[proud jay]

hope she forgot about it

well she always takes like a week to reply to mails

Dieter thinks women are like code

you have to install prerequisites before interacting
